People who have strong community and friendships seek and benefit from therapy. Having community and friendship certainly can help navigate many of the myriad reasons that people might see a therapist for, but having them doesn’t necessarily solve those things. And the expectation that they would, or could, can be an acute burden and even sometimes a terminal strain on those relationships.

- JimtheCoder 3y ago"If your relationship can't survive the talk you would have with your therapist, you have not developed the quality of friends that you should have." Therapists are disposable. Friendships are not. I would rather not risk finding out if a friendship can handle some temporary, dark sh*t. You usually won't know until it is too late...
- FreshStart 3y agoBut the therapy actively attacks community by turning everyone into a sociopathic island? Its basically the digestive juices of a highly individualistic society?
